2017 Map of Honolulu

About this map

Punchbowl and the steep residential ridges of Pacific Heights and Saint Louis Heights dominate the backdrop of this 2017 survey of the Hawaiian capital. The map captures the dense urban corridor stretching from Kalihi Kai through Iwilei and the downtown waterfront at Honolulu Harbor, reaching southeast to Waikīkī and Diamond Head Memorial Park Cem. This modern record is particularly valuable for its detailed indexing of the city's complex cultural landscape, including numerous ethnically specific burial grounds such as the Moiliili Japanese Cem, Yee King Tong Chinese Cem, and the Kaulilani Portuguese Cem. Inland, the terrain rises sharply into the Ko'olau Range, where the Nu'uanu Reservoir Number Four sits below the famous Nu'uanu Pali lookout, illustrating the dramatic geography that constrains and defines the city's growth within its volcanic valleys.
